I don't really understand what you mean by "create a function which is
be called by view and your script." (Also, it's a python script not a
bash script.)

I understand how the views are normally used. In this case the view,
is normally called from a web page. It extracts data from the db and
downloads a CSV file. I want to do that same thing, except from a
script, not from the web page. Perhaps I have to go further down the
chain, and instead of calling the view, invoke what eventually gets
called. It's just that the view returns exactly what I need and if I
go any further down I'll have to duplicate some existing code, which
I'd rather not have to do.
